Lyrics
Wrecking Ball
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tear down the bearing wall
put up a picture window
something to look through
at the bastard colors
burnt sienna
put down the wrecking ball
who has a friend, who needs one?
i've got a way to get to work in almost any city
doesn't matter where
take a needle, i won't be there
privileges forsaken there
liberties i've taken take me nowhere
put down the wrecking ball
don't let a childhood linger
they'll take the world apart and break my baby brother's finger
so he can't shake my hand
guard the dead against my legacy
and lack the wound no more
run from nowhere, nowhere follows you
burn down the house
make sure the family is inside
nothing more to tether you
also no one there to catch you crying
nothing but my famous pillow
and my father's rocking chair
(get a sliver when you sit there)
every mess i make i make a run from nowhere
nowhere follows you
